A Big Island surfer whose legs were bitten by a shark is recovering from his wounds Monday. At the same time, a German tourist who lost her arm after a shark bit it off in Maui on Aug 14 remains in "very critical condition."

16-year-old Jimmy Ulualoha Napeahi, known as "Ulu-boy" by those close to him, was bitten Sunday around 1:30 p.m. off Pohoiki Beach in Pahoa, Hawaii.

Family members say Napeahi is a prolific surfer, sponsored by Da Hui, and was looking forward to surfing at the Duke's Oceanfest HIC Pro Junior surfing competition being held Monday in Waikiki.
